t/README: correct an exception when breaking a && chain in tests
The correct advice should have been taken from c289c31 (t/t7006: ignore return status of shell's unset builtin, 2010-06-02). A real-life issue we experienced was with "unset", not with "export" (exporting an unset variable may have similar portability issues, though). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
